A Review on Design Optimization and Analysis of Brake System with Student SAE International Safety Rules

Abstract

Abstract: Formula Student Competitions are held globally. In these competition students design, fabricate and compete with a formula style race car. The braking system is the most important system in a car. If the brakes fail, the Result may be disastrous. An FSAE race car brake system is different from the conventional brakes. Thus the methodology followed while designing such a braking system Is different. We as a part of an FSAE team have taken up this project to develop a Hydraulic Braking system of an FSAE car. The design of an effective braking system plays a major role in high Performance formula cars since the stopping distance and speed control during cornering are the important part of any race. Everyone wants their Car to go fast, but the braking system should be capable to stop Immediately and safely. Any car with a highly effective braking system Fills confidence in the driver. It also increases driving pleasure. Keywords: callipers, Wilwood, Master cylinder, Rotors, Ansys
